The Greenburgh Town Board will honor Nicholas Lombardi at our Wednesday night Town Board meeting-- which begins at 7:30 PM. Nicholas Lombardi has been helping his younger brother, Joey overcome the challenges of autism for many years. Joey, a happy young student at the ardsley schools, uses sign language to communicate and has benefitted from the special needs programs offered by the school district. Nicholas Lombardi is an exceptional brother. He is always there for his brother but also has donated many hours of his time helping others with autism.
Nicholas Lombardi created a button that states "I'm not
misbehaving I have autism. Please be Understanding." Nicholas sells these
buttons on his web site and on the autism speaks website. His slogan has been
trademarked and has been sold all over the world.
Nicholas Lombardi has raised over $75,000 for Autism speaks. Nick
is a respected public speaker who speaks at benefits and fundraisers, volunteers
with special needs children every Sunday for years. He also works at summers
teaching special needs children to swim.
Nick is a hero to his brother and to so many who live with
autism. He will be attending Manhattanville College in the fall. Our community
is lucky to have someone like Nicholas living here. He has made a great
difference in the lives of others.
